RealMassive

RealMassive is looking for a Senior Python Backend Developer to help build and deploy our game-changing marketing platform. Our highly accomplished early team is having fun and building something massive! Commercial real estate, a multi-trillion dollar market, runs like an oxcart from the 1500s. We're here to give it GPS, strap on some JATO rockets and change it all. You may be able to reap the rewards by building with us.

Our product—launching soon in a market near you!—is a platform as a service (PaaS) built off Google App Engine and Python (webapp2, datastore, oauth2, and friends). The presentation layer, HTML5/CSS3/Javascript, is a nifty dance coordinated by Angular and our backend API. Everything is super modular, tested, and nearly ready for launch. We need senior backend talent to fortify the current setup and help us build the rest of our product.

RealMassive is a home for creative problem solvers who bristle at boredom and love challenges. Personality, tats & piercings encouraged. THC certification a plus.

RealMassive is looking for a Data Scientist to help mine, model, and make predictions on our growing corpus of virgin data.

Continuum Analytics

Client Facing Consultant --- Python Developer

Continuum is looking for accomplished scientists and engineers interested in a customer-facing software consultancy that could lead to full time placement with a customer at the conclusion of a project. Many of these roles allow for involvement with our core technologies as needed by the customer. The more experienced candidate will have a strong technical background with 4+ years Python and C/C++ development experience and 2+ years experience with NumPy or the equivalent. Depending on your skills, you will work on one of our core products or technologies, including our next-generation data management products which will push Python and its vectorized enhancements such as NumPy into general use in big data analytics. For the right person(s) with strong technical and customer-facing skills but less prior exposure to Python, C/C++, NumPy, and related, we may offer concentrated training and mentoring to fully prepare you for this role. Most positions are NYC based.

Continuum is building exciting tools to enable scientists, engineers, and other domain experts to analyze their data and create compelling visualizations from high-level descriptions. We are building compilers from high-level languages to machine code as part of this work. See http://numba.pydata.org and http://blaze.pydata.org for more details on these projects. We need someone to join the team to particularly work on Numba features and support using Numba as a part of the Blaze infrastructure.

REQUIREMENTS

Deep knowledge of Python, Ruby, JavaScript, or other high-level language

Awareness of NumPy or equivalent array constructs in Fortran or other languages

Enthought Inc

The Software Developer at Enthought, Inc. participates in the development of scientific and technical applications involving GUIs, 2D and 3D graphics, workflow and pipeline architecture, and numerical algorithms for our proprietary products and for customer applications. We currently have openings in Austin (USA) and Cambridge (UK). Some travel may be required.

If you are passionate about scientific computing, dedicated to quality software, and pragmatic about problem solving, we'd love to hear from you. While domain expertise and strong technical skills are almost always required, we tend to weigh "really smart", "highly productive", and "dedicated to developing quality products" more heavily than any specific skill set or degree. Ideal candidates often have a strong background in scientific fields, but also find themselves gravitating to the software development and design aspects of their work.

We are interested both in experienced applicants as well as in recent graduates. Applicants should have a BS, MS, or PhD degree with a strong background in science and mathematics, as well as real experience developing quality software, either commercial or open source. More experienced applicants should also have demonstrated project management skills and the ability to lead a team of strong developers with highly technical backgrounds.
To apply, please submit your resume and cover letter to jobs@enthought.com.
